Thread: hand rolled

Hey guys we dont do many seal coating jobs but we are interested in the idea and right now we hand roll residential driveways. how much do you guys think we should be charging. i mean should we charge x amount of dollars per sq. feet per bucket per i dont know i need help thanks

Hand rolling sealcoat ? Thats like going into the mowing business with a reel mower that you push . Buckets of sealer cost around $ 10 .00 for 5 gallons , bulk sealer mixed cost less than a dollar per gallon .

Just to put things into perspective , we run a sealer crew , 2 men , a F 350 and a 550 gallon trailer , a 50 ft by 20 ft drive takes 2 men weedeating the edges , blowing it off and brush applying sealer less than a half an hour . They go thru 500 to 1000 gallons a week .

What should you charge ? Thats up to you and the market in your area , but the right equipment for the job will make it profitable .

I set up my machine for $600.00 and have made with this next job this weekend a total of $8000.00 plus :blob3: in two weeks it depends on the market and how you price , I'll take pictures of it tomorrow, seeing how i just got my dig camera.
